The price was second hand as was on eBay winning bidder paid £180-190 if I remember right for a carbon set. New would have no idea of price. Was gutted as was a good price just did not have funds as the same person was selling the carbon front bumper and was already committed to that. Got the bumper in the end but regretted not having the money to get both...

I thought originally it was all carbon but a garage said it was just covered. It is gel coat so you can see the carbon weave but it looks like it is under some kind or varnish finish is that gel coat ? Can send pics if it helps? The front bumper was £200 odd can't remember exact price and again it was secondhand with quite a few scratches plus one of the fixing loops was missing so had to get a garage to attach a alloy loop for me.

I'd be interested in wings & RCM style reverse scoop. I'd be painting them so is gel coat best? Let me know a price when youv costed everything up. It's for a classic 96 STI.

Hi mate,
Hope you manage to go through with this successfully!
Just a couple more ideas which could be interested in..
Splitters like STI V-Limited and P1 style:-

Rear Diffusers:-
http://subaru-impreza-body-kits.co.u...poilers_4.html
Fog Lamp Covers:-
http://subaru-impreza-body-kits.co.u..._covers_7.html
I've had parts from these guys before and would say they are the best copy parts for looks and perfect fit IMO, so a good place to start. Also very well priced so a good guide for yourself, obviously carbon would be a bit more but some good ideas on there for ya.
Hope that helps.
Cheers,
Michael.

Hi mate,
This thread makes me a little excited tbh I love the idea of carbon side skirts for a classic, along with carbon spats!!!
Carbon interior parts ie, stereo surrounds, ashtray, cup holders, centre console are a MUST as the classic interiors are **** lol.
The price will need to be better than the market really as there are many companies that make these parts, but the prices are simply a **** take.
I have lots of parts ill order from you mate once of course i see a few examples, and some feedback from fellow netters.
Great plan buddy, could make decent coin if you see it through!
PM me when you get the ball rolling.
Cheers

And hopefully it should all turn out looking good and I'm looking into interiors at the minute but what I think I'm gonna do is start with the side skirts , wings , scoops and bumpers / splitters as these are quick and simple to make a mould and turn out , plus a lot of people seem interested in these so will be a quick way to get some money back in to buy different parts to make a mould !
I'v already got a p1 style splitter on my car which I may sacrifice in the future to replace with a carbon copy once done

No offence intended but this thread reminds of a similar one a while ago on mig web, someone started a thread promising all sorts of carbon bits and pieces, supplied a few people with odd bits and then disappeared with a lot of people's money, I hope this thread is genuine because I would love some carbon bits for my classic
